Loreena McKennitt - Caravanserai Lyrics






This glancing life is like a morning star
A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea
A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm
A dancing dream of all eternity

The sand was shimmering in the morning light
And dancing off the dunes so far away
The night held music so sweet, so long
And there we lay until the break of day

We woke that morning at the onward call
Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full
The sun was rising in the eastern sky
Just as we set out to the desert's cry

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

The tents grew smaller as we rode away
On earth that tells of many passing days
The months of peace and all the years of war
The lives of love and all the lives of fears

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

We crossed the river beds all etched in stone
And up the mighty mountains ever known
Beyond the valleys in the searing heat
Until we reached the caravanserai

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

What is this life that pulls me far away
What is that home where we cannot reside
What is that quest that pulls me onward
My heart is full when you are by my side

Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

  23. C.... Y....

    I wonder who are the instrument players of "Kanun" (kanoun), "Ud" (oud) and "Kemence" (Kemanche) in this band. A couple of them look like Turkish. These are the instruments that have been used in the Anatolian Oriental Turkish music for more than 8, 9 siecles.

  24. R.... C....

    Maravilhosa!!!!

  25. J.... I....

    Beter than Enya! By a wide margin!

    Love you! Loreena! I’m sending my big loves from the Istanbul Turkey! Everytimes you will be an amazing musician!❤️❤️

  53. S.... N....

    It's nice to imagine moments in a Canadian kitchen, with a long bony handed friendly citizen, chatting endlessly in days that are simply respected to have meaning... as lives. Not some 5 minute failure after a treaty ending a war, saying "admitting" you could, actually, harm someone based solely on an interest of appearance, as a just freed (this is only philosophy; not a threat). I can't believe how hard you people work, for such a horrible situation of a declining world, or America anyway.

    Lyrics as far as I know:

    This glancing life is like a morning star
    A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea
    A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm
    A dancing dream of all eternity

    The sand was shimmering in the morning light
    And dancing off the dunes so far away
    The night held music so sweet, so long
    And there we lay until the break of day

    We woke that morning at the onward call
    Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full
    The sun was rising in the eastern sky
    Just as we set out to the desert's cry

    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

    The tents grew smaller as we rode away
    On earth that tells of many passing days
    The months of peace and all the years of war
    The lives of love and all the lives of fears

    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

    We crossed the river beds all etched in stone
    And up the mighty mountains ever known
    Beyond the valleys in the searing heat
    Until we reached the caravanserai

    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

    What is this life that pulls me far away
    What is that home where we cannot reside
    What is that quest that pulls me onward
    My heart is full when you are by my side

    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
    Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you
